Passerby #3 (레인보우)

A camera I picked up by chance one day changed my life.

Resignation letter Name: Kim Jiwan

It's not too late. You should give it another thought.

RAINBOW

I thought I could start making films right after I had resigned.

A wishful thinking.

Green light is on. Now you can cross.

Crossing is dangerous. Please wait for the next light.

It's been 5 years I've been taking up any jobs in this field.

At last I have my own business card.

I've talked to the investors.

Either action or comedy. The genre needs to be clear.

Anyway black comedy won't work.

This part of your script is weak.

It's relevant to the conflict.

So we need to redo the plot.

Otherwise financing will be difficult.

What do you think, Director Kim?

- Mom. - What's up?

We've got lots of ants at home.

- Ask dad to catch them. - He's asleep.

Use the tape and crush them with it.

Yeah.

- Where are you? - In the office.

- Still working? - Yup.

Si young said to buy some tape on your way.

Ok.

Hi, mom.

- Where's dad? - In the bedroom.

How's your work?

Not bad.

You've been saying that for five years.

Nothing's been done since you quit your job.

How much longer will your script take?

Until it's done.

My mom's an idiot

- 20 million won! - 10 million won!

This is a story about a woman, who had once hit rock bottom.

300,000 won!

- 250,000 won! - 150,000 won!

Zero!

Turn the damn light off.

Director Kim, how about one more revision?

Sorry. I can't do it anymore.

I've been working on this script for three years.

That's 15 drafts till now! Fifteen!

You promised me you'd start casting.

Please start casting.

Well, it's not my decision to make.

If we work hard... Like a beaver, we will make it someday.

- So... - I don't want to live like a beaver.

Then let's put it on hold.

- What do you mean "on hold?" - We should store the script away.

You think it is some wine?

- Hi, Hojun. - Oh, Jiwan.

- Director. - Yes.

So, what I meant was that my script is commercial, okay?

Yes. Please get in!

Hey, Hojun.

Jiwan, I'm so sorry about earlier. It's an important meeting.

- That's alright. - How's your movie going?

- Pretty good. We'll start shooting soon. - That's great.

I feel terrible if my film went ahead of you.

Sorry, I have to go!

So, did you quit your job?

Forget it. Gifts? Passion? It's all nothing without luck.

You focus too much on only one thing. Try a new approach!

But there was a story I wanted to talk about.

What was it?

Ants. A story about ants.

I'm scared of them.

Trying to burn down the whole house?

Look at this!

All this, for a damn movie!

Go to the theater instead!

Hurt? It'd be so cool if the bruise looks just like a baseball.

- Hey! - I've thrown some curve balls.

Ah, welcome to Otaku's room

My mom's belly is the size of Mt. Bukhan

Ah, we are one weird family

Mom doesn't have a movie to shoot, but she calls herself a 'director'

And because of her, dad doesn't go to the theater

Mom won't even take a shower now

Oh, she's... Walking on two feet An Australopithecus

Mom, you're being a real bum lately.

I'm waiting for your movie, but all you do is sleeping.

Cast me when you start shooting.

- I want to be Passerby No. 3. - Why Passerby #3?

I just like the number three.

But you must pay me.

Cabbages. Banana for sale!

I used to interview bands to make a film about them.

And I realized that their struggle was the same as mine.

A band plays on stage.

Scene 40. At a concert hall.

Eunju is looking at singer on stage.

Her body is like a sound booster.

- It's boring. Really sucks. - Hey!

Buy me an electric guitar if you seal the contract.

What about moving to a bigger house?

I gave up on that. Buy me one, okay?

Alright.

- What are you doing? - Working.

On what, this time?

You're not going to the office lately.

Did you get fired?

You dunno nothin' You dunno nothin' Nothin' damn it...

You have to work tomorrow. How could you drink so much?

Work?

You can go instead of me.

Ha, I want to quit, too.

It's me.

- Did you read it? - Yup.

How was it?

Not bad. I see you've been working hard.

You can tell? I saw a pig in my dream. Exactly, it was pig's feet.

It's a lucky dream.

Wake up, dummy! You want some pork hock?

So hot.

Last year was worst.

So, what did you write at the previous company?

I arranged a nice room especially for you.

It's really big! Is this really all to myself?

You deserve it. Here, this is the schedule.

From July to December, script revisions. Casting by next February.

Pre-production begins in March, and the shoot starts in May.

Look over it and give me your opinion.

- Ok. - Oh and...

Your business card.

- Everything's so fast here. - Fast is good. Time is money.

- Let's make this happen, OK? - Yes.

I see you have an eye for guitars.

I'll get you this when my movie hits the jackpot!

Getting a job and buying it myself will be faster.

Turn it down!

Schedule

Come in.

- How do you do? - Yes?

I'm a director, Ahn Changnam. I use the room next door.

You directed the film, Myung-ja's Friday, right?

Ya, that's me.

Please have a seat.

Use this up quick, before the movie's dropped.

- Excuse me? - What the hell am I saying...

I heard your script is good. Show it to me.

Sure.

- Coffee? - No, thanks.

- He must be your son. - That's right.

I'm expecting a baby in three months. Saw the ultrasounds.

- Congratulations! - Thank you.

- See you again. - Okay, bye.

Feel free to stop by my office anytime!

Okay!

One. Two. Three. Four. Five.

1st draft

2nd draft

3rd draft

4th draft

5th draft

Just 5th drafts, and shooting!

The hero spent his youth in a detention center.

He served time for murdering his own father.

With this secret behind, he works as a deliver boy.

One day, he finds a guitar.

And he becomes a successful musician?

- You get the picture! - Not bad.

No, not a detention center. It's too depressing.

Hero has got to be from the middle class. Audience wants something more positive.

Then, his mother is a doctor. Father is a guitarist killed himself.

Oh, nice! And he has gift for memorizing music.

- Sense of perfect pitch? - Bingo!

Way to go.

- How about age? - Fifteen.

- Not good. - Then, eighteen.

The movie has to draw 2 million tickets. So make him in twenties.

Yes?

- Hello. - Hi, Director Ahn.

Please have a seat. Just a few more left.

This room is so empty.

This is the third company I've joined.

I didn't bring my stuff. I never know when I'll be fired.

But you've already made your debut.

Yes, but making the second one isn't so easy.

- I never really see you working. - I never revise my scripts.

Why not?

People say I shouldn't 'cos it'll make it worse.

I've edited it only once in a year.

It's better to build up strength during that time.

You need to have good stamina after the shoot begins.

- Here. - Ok, thanks.

So, how's your script coming along?

- Oh, I have to make it more commercial. - Commercial?

For new director, the most crucial thing is... bringing out your own color.

Genuine color.

What are you doing?

I was sketching the opening scene.

Alright, Director. Let's go watch the show.

People jumping around.

People sitting still.

People walking around.
